In less than two days Chanukah begins!  It really is the end of the year.  Wow...just wow..how fast time flew.

I know earlier in the year...as I was building up for the trip..time seemed so SOOO slow...almost going backwards at times...Then the trip happened...and instantly time just flew by!  One second - the trip was over...2 seconds - the election happened...and I ended back up in NR.  3 seconds and now it is almost 2009!

At Thanksgiving with my sister and her family...I said to them...and to myself...hopefully this will be my last Thanksgiving in the US.  I so very much hope that is the case.   I hope that by next year...my car and house will be sold...and I will be settled in the Holy Land....I want it to be.  I miss that sense of community and involvement that seemed so present there in Israel.  

And on the Muqata I learned something interesting.  Nefesh B'Nefesh has a program that if an Olim is willing to live up north the state will give you $25k and a car for two years!  This on top of the other benefits that one would receive.  Now granted, depending on how far north one goes the more dangerous it could become (we all know another war is coming) but still it is food for thought - if job opportunities are available!
